The project aims at operationalising the Regulation on Solid Waste Management (Decree no.13/2006, June 15th), by implementing the National Strategy on Integrated Urban Solid Waste Management, passed in 2012. The project follows and is inspired by several principles expressed in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development: principle 3 – inter-generational responsibility; principle 4 – environmental integration; principle 9 – role of capacity-building and technology transfer; principles 10 and 15 – participatory and precautionary approach. The project is compliant with section 3 of the 2013-2015 Guidelines of the Italian Development Cooperation (governance and civil society) and takes into consideration the cross-cutting issues of section 5, in particular environmental issues, furthermore incorporating the suggestions of the above-mentioned Guidelines on environmental issues.
